Chapter 595: The Dust Settles
The success of the speech in the square made the swordsmiths burst into the greatest enthusiasm, and in the following days, they successively visited the base camp of the three Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the Alchemist Guild, and the Royal Ordnance Bureau.
For the public, this is the best opportunity for the Swordsmiths Guild to expand its influence, and for the private world, this is the best time for the swordsmiths to expand their network.
After four or five busy days, as this exchange conference is coming to an end, the sword tower in the central square of the Eastern Capital has also been built to a height of nine zhang, as if it has become an eye-catching landmark.
"Sister Bell, look, this is the sword cast by Ye Changsheng. Xiao Baiyi stood in front of the tower, pointed to a sword under the sword tower, and said earnestly to Zi Ling'er.
Zi Ling'er is now a big girl, tall, curvy, and her facial features are like ice carvings, with a thrilling beauty.
Although she was still wearing a Taoist robe and combing her hair, this did not affect her beauty at all, but added a bit of dusty atmosphere.
She followed Xiao Baiyi's pointing, couldn't help wrinkling her nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it placed at the bottom?"
Xiao Baiyi said: "Sister Ling, you don't know this, the more skilled the swordsmanship, the lower their swords will be, this is called laying the foundation." ”
Xiao Baiyi took the rhetoric he had only learned two days ago, and pointed to the sword at the bottom, "Look, this sword belongs to Master Zhuang Da, and then this sword belongs to President Mu Qingke, this one belongs to Master Sima Zhen, and this ......."
Just as the two of them were observing the Sword Tower, Ye Changsheng accompanied the owner of Zixia Villa, Zi Qianhao, Zi Ling'er's father, to take a walk in the square.
The afterglow of the setting sun swayed on the sword tower, which emitted a golden light, and the hollowed out light and shadow were endlessly changing, adding a bit of mystery.
Zi Qianhao felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and it was not the tower that he sighed, but the people.
This time, Zi Ling'er accompanied the Taixu Zhenren of Zixia Palace to Tongtianguan to participate in a Daomen ceremony, and Zi Qianhao took this opportunity to come over together.
These days, he has personally experienced the skyrocketing popularity of white-haired Changsheng in this city, and has seen Ye Changsheng being commensurate with his peers by countless masters, and being regarded as a guest of honor by countless princes and ministers, and the scene of chatting and sitting together to talk happily.
Zi Qianhao couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the nameless boy from Sanshui Town would go so far and come to this point.
The reason why he helped Ye Changsheng back then was mostly to repay the favor, and he didn't think too much or too far.
Ye Changsheng cured his daughter's illness, discovered his daughter's talent in the body of the Nine Shadows, and also taught his daughter the supreme mastery of the Daomen "Xuantian Creation Technique", such a great kindness, he couldn't help but repay it.
But in fact, the Zi family remained neutral most of the time, and did not give Ye Changsheng much help.
It wasn't until Huanglong Villa was forced out of Sanshui Town, Wenjiantang was on the right track, and the Zi family and the Bai family planned to form the Sanchuan Alliance, that Zi Qianhao made up his mind at that time and tied up with the interests of the Sanchuan Ye family.
His decision turned out to be too wise.
In just a few years, Ye Changsheng's fame has become bigger and bigger, not only has he gained a firm foothold in Yunlong City, the national capital of Yunlong, but now he has also gained a firm foothold in the eastern capital of the Federation.
To put it mildly, Zi Qianhao has begun to feel a sense of oppression and crampedness when he sees Ye Changsheng now, if it weren't for him watching Ye Changsheng grow up since he was a child, he probably wouldn't be able to be neither humble nor arrogant now.
Zi Qianhao retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Changsheng, and said with relief: "Before setting off from Yunlong City, Your Majesty specially summoned the old man and asked the old man to express his gratitude to you. ”
The rules and regulations of the Swordsmith Guild have been sent down to the various subordinate countries through the official channels of the Federation, causing countless shocks.
What made people fall out of sight was that the southeast branch of the Sword Forger Guild was actually set up in Jade Dragon City, the capital of the Yunlong Principality.
Among the six countries in the southeast region, the Principality of Yunlong can only be regarded as a third-rate principality, whether it is the old Principality of Tianfeng or the Principality of Beilin, the national strength is stronger than that of Yunlong, and the newly rising Principality of Blue Eagle and the Principality of White Horse are also more powerful than the Principality of Yunlong.
It would be okay to set up the branch in Yunlong City, but the first president of the branch was Mo Longfeng, the swordsmith of the Yunlong Principality.
What kind of person is Mo Longfeng, few people have heard of this name, and then look at his resume, in addition to the establishment of the North Wind Hall, he has never even served in the Royal Military Construction Bureau, how can he be?
Where does this place the Heavenly Wind Principality, where the masters are frequent?
What's even more outrageous is that in the Eastern Capital's Sword Forge General Guild, there is already a sword forge master from the Yunlong Principality as a high-level leader, and similarly, Liu Bufan, one of the four deacons of the General Guild, they have never heard of it.
Similarly, Lu Wanfang, the vice president of the Southeast Branch, they had never heard of him, they only knew that he was the chief elder of the Asking Sword Hall.
Then there is no doubt that it all has to do with the wicked white-haired boy.
A series of events that took place in the eastern capital had long been spread by various forces and merchants from the south to the north at the fastest speed.
I'm afraid that in less than half a month, the entire Glory Federation, no one knows white-haired immortals.
Even if someone guesses the inside story, they are helpless, the Federation vigorously supports the Sword Forgers Guild this time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Now that the cake has been divided and the charter has been decided, anyone who jumps out to oppose it at this time is tantamount to looking for death.
The location of the Southeast Chapter in Yunlong City not only has a strong symbolic meaning, but also a huge benefit.
Sword forging is inseparable from steel and iron ore, and the trade of ore has always been firmly in the hands of the imperial courts of various countries.
The branch of the Sword Forger's Guild that has been established today is equivalent to obtaining the privilege of iron ore trade, and then using this privilege to clamp down on the ore trade of the six countries in the southeast.
The newly formed chapters will even change the price and even the pattern of large transactions, and eventually this impact will spread to land and water transportation, as well as related industries.
In the short term, it seems that the Principality of Yunlong wants to give away part of its benefits, but this part of the loss can be completely passed on to the other five countries.
Far from suffering losses, the Principality of Yunlong will also gain huge benefits, not to mention the political influence that Yunlong has gained because of this.
In fact, when Zuo Yuanyi was the earliest, he didn't have any hope at all, and he didn't expect anything from Ye Changsheng at all.
He didn't expect that Ye Changsheng would give him such a big surprise, which was no longer something that could be expressed with one or two words of thanks.
Just waited for Ye Changsheng to go back, and the title of a marquis fell on Ye Changsheng's head.
And this time the reward for Ye Changsheng, the Yunlong Imperial Court was surprisingly unanimous, and there was not a trace of opposition.
Ye Changsheng listened to Zi Qianhao's eyebrows fluttering, and said with a smile: "Actually, it was Liu Bufan who really contributed, and I only made a little suggestion at most." ”
"Well, without outsiders, you don't have to be modest,"
Zi Qianhao smiled, and then moved to the topic, "Since the establishment of the branch has been finalized, shouldn't we also make adjustments to the development of our Sanchuan Alliance?"
